    True, the concepts of heaven and hell are from the New Testament, where hell is sometimes referred to as Hades. The Old Testament mentions sheol, meaning the grave.

    Well, humanitarianism has lots of gray area in its various definitions, but all I can say is that its probably always been around in one form or another. It's an effective tool in controlling masses.

    Well, I suppose this is my hobby along with graphics and PHP programming. I also really enjoy working on my cars and playing guitar, quite generic...

    This topic was very similar to previous topics where warnings were issued, joke or not.

    I guess if you live your life based on other people's opinions and consequently have a guilty conscience, then I guess this might be a worthwhile question. If you live your life independently and first-hand then guilt doesn't affect you much and the question is irrelevant. Me, I'm interested in Romans because they are the first to reach a cerain height in human achievement. The ends, the means, the good, the bad... it's all worth studying and learning from. The only thing to be guilty about is the corruption of the principles inside you. People focus on the things they value.

    What I'm talking about is basing your life on the approval of others vs a personal standard based on convictions.

    I think Demson is on the right track. There are people who live life by their own standards and people who live life by the standards of the people around them. The latter have essentially 'sold their soul' and these are the corruptable ones, IMO. After all, what real integrity do they have if they don't hold themselves to their wn standard? By the very nature of most positions of authority, its pretty much impossible to hold one without living by the standards of the people under your authority. If you don't then you're a 'selfish egotist'.

    The statement that the Bible tells us that Julius Caesar was made in Jesus Christ's image.

    To answer the original question, I'd assume that most Romans drug of choice was wine. A few people, to whom they were available, probably used some of the other drugs known at the time. I wouldn't necessarily think of it in terms of modern drug use since most of these substances were primarily used as entheogens - most people simply didn't know why they worked and believed it was supernatural.

    Pretty much every psychotropic plant or fungus was known at that time.

    Interesting indeed. Coprolites are awesome.

    Just correcting a little misinformation.

    He means that God won his victory with the sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of mankind and that Lucifer turned one third of the angelic host against God, as implied in Revelation 12:4.

    Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." There is no mention of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. The Old Testament is a Judaic book. Moses wrote that passage. Hebrew lexicon implies that 'image' and 'likeness' indicate our similarity in form. That we are differentiated from animals.

    If I distribute them, I need to have some sort of credits. I'll setup an FTP account for you on my personal site and PM you the details.

    Curious, do you have some full bibliographical information on these?
  22. Moonlapse
    79% - but then again, I said that I would tie up my best friend with explosives and use them as zombie bait...

    An Iron Age Scot, eh?

    Have you ever seen ultimate fighting? not the stuff on regular cable... I think it gives people, especially males, a primal satisfaction that can't really be found in large society.
